HEATHKIT models – all AC models including SB200, SB201, SB220, SB221, SB230, HA10, HL2200, SB1000
HENRY RADIO models – all AC models including 1K, 2K, 3K, 4K, 5K, 8K
KENWOOD models – all AC models including TL922, TL922A
All AC powered rigs like B&W, Collins, Command, Dentron, Drake, Gonset, Hallicrafters, Hammarlund, Hunter, Icom, Palomar, Palstar, QRO, SBE, Swan, Tokyo Hy-Power, Yaesu
Included are the following chokes and installation guidelines:
RF Input: F240 toroid – 5-9 turns of RG-58 size through center
RF Output: FSB-1 (Big Clamp on) – 3 turns of RG-8 size cable
Relay Cable: FSB-1/2 – multiple turns through choke – ½” diameter hole
AC Power Line: FSB-1 (Big Clamp on) – 3 turns through center
Also make sure you connect a good RF ground to the transceiver ground post.
Note to Flex Radio users: Use snap on ferrites for firewire cable, speaker cable and mic cable, Ring ferrites for Antenna output and DC power.
For additional RFI suppression, use a feed line choke at the antenna to suppress common current on the coax feed line – see our store for feed line choke alternatives for use at the antenna.
If you use a linear amplifier we have RFI kits for linear amplifiers that help suppress RFI in your shack or in your neighbor’s house.
